Dragon Master is a board game released in 1987 for 2 players and ages 7 and up. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move.
This is a travel game, packaged in the same format as a cassette tape. It is part of the "Flipsiders" series. The "tape" contains a fold-out playing field and four magnetic markers. Where the spools for the tape should be, are two wheels that are spun instead of dice. The object of the game is to kill monsters to gain experience and finally to kill the dragon on the last level.
Dragon Master supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The catalogue lists Dragon Master for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dragon Master has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
